Excellent GPS
This GPS is an excellent product. It is very easy to use and the capacitive touch screen works very well. The unit has excellent features and the live traffic information is extremely useful. This feature is most handy when there are traffic delays. When this happens, then the Tom Tom gives you alternative routes to take and this feature works very well in suggesting an alternative route. I will recommend this unit to anyone that is looking for an easy to use and full featured GPS.

A few dissapointments
I was the owner of a Tomtom Go Live 740 for more than two years, and decided to get a new device, as the cost to renew the Live subscription and update the map was quite close to the price of a new device, minus selling the old one. Read more ...
